OVER THE ROCK ISLAND TO PEA
BODY.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
The people are feeling immensely joyous
over their direct communication with Wich-
ita, and well they should, for it Is one of
the smoothest, best equipped railroads in
the state of Kansas, and their men all along
the line are genial class of fellows. "To
accommodate is their motto. The bust
ness men of Peabody are enjoying first
class trade regardless of the outlook of the
crops. Still, Peabody is not made up of
that class of men who are continually
growing about the times, but instead move
right along regardless of anything of the
kind.
Norman Miller has the finest carriage
line to be found anywhere.
Live stock merchants say they are buy
ing very fine lot of stock at present.
Some of their buyers bought four car loads
of hogs the other day for which they paid
S cents. That speaks well for Peabody as
a shipping point.
The citizens and merchants of Peabody
are going to form a first class acquaintance
with our Wichita people, and especially
our wholesale firms, and they say send
more of them out to Peabody over the
Rock Island and they will surely stay with
them. P.B

LINCOLN'S SPEECH AT GETTYSBURG.

As time goes on interest increases in the
speech of Mr. Lincoln at Gettysburg and
everything going to show how, when and
where it was first written by the great
emancipater is eagerly read. 1t makes lit
lie difference whether or not Mr.. Lincoln
gave much thought to this speech or
whether 1t was all inspiration of the mo-
ment. These words will always be treas
ured as those of patriot The following
is the speech:
Four score and seven years ago our faith
ers brought forth upon this continent a new
nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated
to the proposition that all men are created
equal. Now we are engaged in great
civil war, testing whether that nation,
or any nation, so conceived and so
dedicated, can long endure. We
are met on great battlefield of
that war. We have come to dedicate
a portion of that field as final resting
place for those who gave their lives that
the nation might live. 1t is altogether fit
ting and proper that we should do this.
But In large sense we cannot dedicate,
we cannot COnSecrate, we cannot hallOw
this ground. The brave men, living and
dead, who struggled here, have consecrated
it far above our power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor long remem-
Der, what we say here, but 1t can never
forget what they did here 1t is for us, the
living, rather to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who fought
here have thus far so nobly carried on. 1t
is rather for us TO be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us; that from
these honored dead We take increased devo-
ton TO that cause to which they here gave
the last full measure of devotion; that We
here highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died In vain, that the nation, un-
der God, shall have new birth of free
dom, and that government of the people,
by the people, and for the people shall not
perish from the earth.

ENrERpRIsING, sLEEpLEss WICHITA

The Democrat month or so ago urged
that the board of trade, before disbanding
for the summer, hold at least one spirited
meeting TO discuss matters of vital interest
to Topeka. If this had been done 1t is not
impossible that the Burton car works could
have been secured for Topeka. Our adj.
vice, however, was not taken; the members
of the board hied themselves to the noun
tains; and enterprising, sleepless Wichita
has secured the prize that might have been
won for Topeka.-Topeka Democrat.
A great many Of Wich;ts's heavy capt.
talists hied themselves off to the mountains
also. The few remaining engaged in the
landable scheme of securing the Burton car
works during the heated tenn, just to let
the outside world know that notwithstand-
ing the recent bombardment our flag is still
there. A half million dollar enterprise like
the Burton car works is an explosion of a
giant firecracker that serves notice Of the
coming boom. But when our boys all re-
turn the big guns will be brought into line,
and the lannon's opening roar will shake
the continent. Other battles are to be
fought and greater victories won for the

A NEW TOWN.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.

TO the EOUOr OF the Eagle.
Sawyer, the newest booming town, i
now connected by rail with the pride OF
Kansas wonderful Wichita We are
pleased to note by the EAGLE that Wichita
has secured the Burton Car Works. We
realize and know that the prosperity OF
Wichita is the prosperity OF this new but
rapidly growing country.
Sawyer is in Pratt county, on the Null
vane extension, in the midst of fine agri
cultural and grazing country, twenty miles
northwest of Medicine Lodge, forty miles
northeast of Coldwater, fourteen miles
southeast of Pratt Center, and thirty-five
miles west of Spivey-far enough away
from other towns to have a prosperous
trade.
This growing town was recently laid out
by the Arkansas Valley & Land Co., "a,
T. & s. F., and Judging from the large
depot they have built, and the extensive
yards and side-tracks put In here, it would
seem that it is their intention to make
Sawyer an important division. The COM
pany have already sold nearly twenty thou
sand dollars worth of lots, and they are
still selling every day on their special easy
terms, one-third cash, one third six months,
one-third twelve months.
There are about dozen business houses
built already, and several more being
built and under contract, besides
a larege number of cosey and
substantial residences. The first
train brought to town commercial tourists
from Chicago, Kansas City and st. Joseph,
representing the leading business houses in
those cities. Wichita's commercial travel
ers did not wait for the "steam cars but
came in week ahead and stocked up sew
eral stores with groceries. Thos. F.
Byrnes, the western traveller. came to
town on the same day that Wichita was SO
ably represented and stocked up the town
with the celebrated c. a. Fargo, Chicago,
boots and shoes. Mr.. Byrnes showed his
faith in the town by purchasing 1000
worth of lots. 1t is said. that Mr. Byrnes
never misses in his investments. He Ger
tainly will not here as he has already sold
two lots at handsome profit.
The crops in this section are quite good.
Oats and wheat never was better and corn
will average full three quarter crop.
Elm Mills located close to Sawyer Is one
of the best roller mills in the state, and the
magnificent water power cannot be sur
passed Farmers can dispose Of their pro
duce grain, &C., at good prices at Sawyer
aud can have their milling done by haul
ing their grain to Sawyer.
Altogether the outlook is splendid, We
want badly lumber yard, newspaper
and printing establishment, hardware
store, drug store, blacksmith, butch
er. baker and bank-in fact, every trade
and profession can find profitable open
ing here, and last but not least, the daily
EAGLE every morning.
Come and see and be convinced thai
SAWYER Is an important town to Wichita.
Yours truly, G. w. WEBER,
Postmaster
